Patterns of health-promoting lifestyles among patients with colorectal cancer: A latent profile analysis.
Patients with colorectal cancer can be classified into distinct health-promoting lifestyle profiles, which may help healthcare providers tailor interventions to improve their lifestyle.
Where it sits
this study against the rest of the ll-37 corpusSummary and findings
This study measured health-promoting lifestyle profiles among 561 hospitalized patients with colorectal cancer using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II Revised (HPLP-II R). Four distinct profiles were identified, with varying characteristics and associations with sociodemographic factors and psychological conditions. No therapeutic claims are made regarding the implications of these profiles.
Abstract
Objective To identify the latent profiles of health-promoting lifestyle and explore the correlates of these profiles among patients with colorectal cancer. Methods A total of 561 hospitalized patients with colorectal cancer at a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou between July 2023 and June 2024 were enrolled. The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II Revised (HPLP-II R) was used to assess health-promoting behaviors. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted to identify health-promoting lifestyle subgroups. Univariate analysis and multinomial logistic regression were performed to examine the association between profiles and sociodemographic characteristics, physical frailty, and psychosocial factors. Results Four distinct health-promoting lifestyle profiles were identified: profile 1 - "the comprehensively positive high health-promotion (8.4%)", profile 2 - "the nutrition-spiritual growth retained low health-promotion (41.5%)", profile 3 - "the globally low health-promotion (14.4%)", and profile 4 - "the balanced moderate health-promotion (35.7%)". Psychological frailty and friendship isolation were more likely to be associated with Profile 2 (OR = 1.799, P = 0.001; OR = 5.484, P = 0.043) and Profile 3 (OR = 2.249, P < 0.001; OR = 11.449, P = 0.005). Patients with high depression scores (OR = 4.332, P = 0.015) and who are currently smoking (OR = 3.288, P = 0.025) were more likely to be classified into Profile 3. Profile 1 and Profile 4 exhibited a difference in per capita monthly household income. Conclusions Health-promoting lifestyle profiles of patients with colorectal cancer has distinct characteristics. These findings provide a basis for nurses to identify high-risk subgroups and implement profile-specific, targeted lifestyle interventions in clinical practice. Target intervention tailored to each profile's characteristics and correlates may modify the lifestyle among patients with colorectal cancer.
Background
The paper addresses the relationship between lifestyle patterns and health outcomes in colorectal cancer patients. Previous studies have shown that lifestyle factors can influence cancer prognosis and quality of life, making this analysis relevant for understanding patient behaviors. This study aims to identify specific lifestyle profiles that may be associated with better health outcomes.
